Does anybody have any, I guess ‘vintage’, video game shirts from their childhood? I think the only one that survived for me, was my pre-order Mario 64 shirt from Toys-R-Us. What a lame-looking shirt, too. Even when I was a kid, I was embarrassed to wear it.

I was going to ask about Mario underwear, but what’s the use? We all had those. Right guys? Right? 🙁

I still have some random old shirts – Star Wars Pod Racer comes to mind – and I had some SMB3 and a really old SMB shirt form when I was very small. But those I gave away to my friend Adrienne, who is so tiny she actually fit into them. I felt it was a good deal.

Someone should make a website, dedicated to archiving video game clothing.

But beyond clothing, I have memories of clocks, eating utensils and furniture. Ah, marketing!

I would love to write up a piece, detailing the absurd amounts of Nintendo merchandise I had amassed as a kid. Thinking back, I can’t even remember where half of it came from. A giant, wooden Nintendo toy chest? Where do you even get something like that?
